Thank you for what you re doing. you re doing god s work down there. be safe and thank you. thank you to all the volunteers that have come in, also, a part of the great big cajun navy. you know the work that needs to be done. for weeks people will be down there in need. let s thank clyde cain, the cajun navy back at it again. unfortunately they re needed once again. let s bring back thad allen, a former u.s. national incident commander who led the response in hurricane katrina and rita. and lisa monaco, adviser to president obama. among her duties was coordinating disaster response. am i wrong in that? i rebekah. i remember rita. i don t remember the call going out so early. that if you re able to help in any way you uhave a boat people were doing it anyway down there in cajun country. but this call, this open if you can get after it, do so, somewhat unusual, isn t it? i think it is. but it s also a testament to the scale of what we re seeing down there. it s certainly needed. it s certainly need it appears.
Very good for everybody out here now. there s a need for coordination. as you know very well in an emergency situation you just get after what you can. how many of you came up? how many boats? we brought about 20 boats. we met up at the lake charles civic center. we brought about three boats and met up with leaders who had connections over here and ended up with about 20 boats and as other boats are coming as they contact our page and other pages and groups and been showing up over here at the academy in pasadena. as they ve come in we ve waited on instructions and we re working underneath others with their contacts. as we get dispatched or told where we can go, we go out and do the best we can. well, and you have shown the ability to do that in beautiful fashion. you re an example to many. we re watching your video of all the pickups and the trailers come with the boats. we will coordinate with the producers and you about people contacting us saying they need help. and i want to thank you, clyde, on behalf of all of us who aren t able to help the way you are.
